Voyages in Norway

6-night voyages from Bergen

We will begin our Norwegian cruising in 2027 by exploring the Fjordland region of Norway from the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bergen. 

Step aboard in the historic Bryggen district of Bergen, where the painted wooden houses with their steep roofs flow right to the waterfront. From here, we plan to head North, journeying around the islands of Askoy, Radoy & Herdla, towards Sognesfjord, Norway’s largest Fjord and home to some of the most breathtaking cruising in the world. Sognesfjord is the longest and deepest fjord in Norway, stretching over 100 miles inland from the North Sea, right into the heart of the mountains. A remote sailing area, its inland waters and outlying islands are just begging to be explored under sail.

Weather in Norway

The summer weather in Norway is not dissimilar to the summer weather in Scotland; weather moves quickly across the region in systems. If anything, the baseline temperature of both air and sea in the Southern Norwegian region is a little warmer. With air temperatures from 15-25 °C and sea temperatures of 13-15°C. Just like Scotland, it can be both sunny and wet, and we recommend bringing waterproof layers for hiking ashore.

Our 6-night voyages are centred on time spent under sail, typically sailing for 4–6 hours each day, before dropping anchor, or mooring alongside local communities each evening. Venture ashore by dinghy to explore the many hiking opportunities that this unspoilt region has to offer. There is time ashore at each stop — to explore, wander, or simply take in the stillness of these remarkable places. Travelling by boat allows access to places few ever reach, revealing the coast at its most intimate and wild

6-night voyages from Stavanger

Join us onboard Eda Frandsen for a high-summer adventure along Norway’s spectacular south-west coast. In August, when the days are long and the light lingers late into the evening, we will explore the dramatic fjords and island-studded seascapes that surround the vibrant harbour city of Stavanger.

A little further south than Bergen, this region is known as the Bay of Islands, and pairs a landscape of archipelagos with wide, windswept beaches.

Step aboard in Stavanger’s historic Vågen harbour, where white wooden houses climb the hillside above the waterfront and fishing boats still share the quay with modern yachts. Casting off from the city, we head north into the sheltered waters of the Boknafjord and beyond, weaving between low-lying islands, narrow sounds and open stretches of sea shaped by wind and tide.

Our 6-night voyage may take us into the awe-inspiring Lysefjord — home to the iconic Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) — or westwards towards the wild beaches and open horizons of the Jæren coastline. Granite cliffs rise steeply from deep blue water, waterfalls tumble after summer rain, and remote anchorages offer complete tranquillity beneath vast Nordic skies. August brings a special quality of light: warm evenings, golden reflections on still water, and the chance to swim from smooth rock ledges in sheltered coves.

Our voyages are centred on time spent under sail, typically sailing for 4–6 hours each day before anchoring in peaceful bays or mooring alongside small coastal communities each evening. Venture ashore by dinghy to hike dramatic cliff-top trails, wander through quiet island villages, or simply sit with a view that feels almost impossibly vast. Travelling by traditional sailing vessel allows access to places few ever reach.
